My expectations.
I decided to take this course for one strong reason in particular, although my expectations go beyond the idea of just learning how to write better than now. First of all, I would like to explain the main cause that made me take this course, and then I will explain all the expectations that I have.
I am studying physics, and I think that is well known that scientists publish what they research in specialized magazines, this is the most important motive that I have for taking this writing course. Nevertheless, there are other no less important reasons for studying the writing course; I would like to learn how to avoid all the mistakes that I could have when I have to write my own articles. I think that the nature of these mistakes could be misspelling the words or wrong grammatical structures and a very limited vocabulary, and I would like to put an end to all these mistakes (and perhaps others that I can not imagine yet) to be able to write good scientific articles where I could express the content clearly.
Behind the main expectations that I have written in the last paragraph I expect to learn more vocabulary and make it mine. Although I know that this is not a grammar course (in fact I took the grammar course one year ago) I would like to be able to manage the grammatical mistakes that I could have and I want to learn how to correct them.
Letter to a Canadian
First of all, welcome to Mexico and I wish you have a good time while you are here.
I really don't know if you are a man or a woman nor something about your age, the only thing that I know about you is that you are Canadian. So, I would like to ask you some questions about your country.
I have heard several myths about Canada, one of them is that there are some shopping centers underground, is it true? Another myth that I have heard is that your country is very safe and that Canadians usually don't need to lock the doors of their homes, I think that it could be great if we could do the same in Mexico, but sadly it is difficult do that here because there are bad people on the streets, although I think that the issue of safety in Mexico, as presented the media is an exaggeration although I believe it is necessary to take some precautions not just in Mexico but in every country.
Not everything is bad news in Mexico, we are a kind people and we have nice places with high diversity of nature. We have a lot of archaeological places, too. I would recommend you visit the Teotihuacan, you can see the pyramids of the sun and the moon there. I can recommend you to visit the Zocalo of Mexico city too; it is a place with a lot of history and beautiful buildings.
Hello, my name is Gabriel. I'm 22 years old and I was born in Mexico city on June 23rd, 1986 . I'm studying the sixth semester of the major of physics in the "Faculty of Sciences" at the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico). I have two passions; these are physics and computers. I like these subjects because they have something in common: both have their logic. I like physics for another reason that not everybody can understand, the study of physics shows us that our world is very mysterious and only studying physics it is possible to realize about that awesome fact. Although I spend almost all my time with physics and computers, I try to read literature. I have enjoyed specially: "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by the Colombian writer Gabriel García Marquez, "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo, "Robinson's School" by Jules Verne and "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. I'd like to learn how to paint (I tried once when I was in high school but I wasn't successful) . I'd like to learn how to play piano and violin because piano and violin sound is relaxing. I like to spend time with my family and friends and talk, talk and talk... with them. Profile
